Host Milano leading hospitality event
Beyond the numbers, Host Milano confirms itself-perhaps thanks in part to its biennial cadence-as theworld's leading hospitality event; it is no coincidence that technological innovations that anticipate out-of-home consumption styles and trends were presented as world premieres, with the novelties often presented in design contexts, whose job is to 'tell' how products respond to what users are looking for and want.
Furniture, tables, machinery and equipment from the hospitality sector unsurprisingly tell the story of an increasing propensity for storytelling, which is reflected in the dynamism of social media: related Instagram accounts, for example, have reached more than 1 million unique users.
RG Mania at Host 2019
RG Mania followed this wave, renewing the tradition of its participation at Host by documenting it on social media, but above all by displaying the trendiest products of the moment in a showcase in plain sight in the small square set up by the well-known trade magazine Mixer in collaboration with a series of prestigious partners.
Host, as usual, proved to be an opportunity for us to strengthen relationships with horeca and food & beverage suppliers in order to guarantee you a service that is always on the cutting edge; and to share a capital of innovative and up-to-date skills and experience.
Host 2019, sustainability and 4.0 technologies
Host 2019's schedule consisted of more than 800 high-profile events dedicated to education and information on topics such as sustainability and 4.0 technologies, fromArtificial Intelligence to theInternet of Things; competitions, demonstrations and show-cooking with experts, star chefs and masters of the various disciplines made the just-ended event unmissable and appreciated by both visitors and industry professionals.
All that remains is to give you an appointment to the next fair appointments and the next edition of Host, again at Fiera Milano, from October 22 to 26, 2021.
